Treatment Options for men
There are treatments and therapies that can help correct, overcome or
circumvent even the most severe problems. If hormones are too low, there
are ways to medically treat the levels. If there' s an obstruction in
one of the delicate male ducts, there are sophisticated, overwhelmingly
successful microsurgical repairs. Success rates with vasectomy reversals
have vastly improved. Even for men with no sperm in their semen, or
those born without a vas deferens, male reproductive specialists can, in
many cases, now extract sperm from within the testicles. Using the most
significant treatment advance for male factor infertility,
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), men who a decade ago could not
dream of producing progeny, today can become fathers. As long as there
are even a few viable sperm, male infertility specialists can extract
sperm and with the help of advanced reproductive technologies create an
embryo by injecting just one sperm into an egg, fertilizing it in vitro,
and implanting it in the woman' s body. It means that in cases that were
once deemed beyond help, there is an effective, safe and successful
treatment.
